Community Education
Spreading Awareness
As part of our Circle of Care, we strive to spread awareness not only of our services but also of mental healthcare to the public.
This looks like attending or hosting events, participating in school presentations, and sharing insights through radio and news interviews. We believe education is key to reducing stigma.
School Presentations
In the 2024-2025 school year, we presented over 16 hours of school presentations—from lunch booths to full auditoriums.
Topics We Cover
Our Learning and Training Manager, Jason Jones, leads these sessions with support from interns and staff. We aim our content at middle and high school students, addressing their daily mental health struggles.
- Teen Stress and Anxiety
- Social Media & Mental Health
- Foundations of Friendship
- Building Resilience
- Self-Care Strategies
Public Speaking & Outreach
Members of our team have been invited to speak on youth mental health to other organizations, on panels, and at events. We strive to attend every opportunity that presents itself, as this could be the time we connect with someone who wasn’t aware of our services and needs them.
We’ve also been invited to host booths at events around wellness or mental health, in local schools, colleges, and public day festivals.
In the News & On the Radio
Nothing warms our hearts like being reached out to by local media to speak on our campaigns, initiatives, or youth mental health in general. We’ve been fortunate to do many radio interviews and even get our chance in the spotlight during the evening news.
